Post-Streptococcus mitis infection polyserositis. [PDF]
BMJ Case Rep, 2021 We report a case of a 42-year-old man who presented with acute epigastric and retrosternal chest pain and exertional dyspnoea, and was subsequently diagnosed with polyserositis secondary to post-Streptococcal mitisinfection. A CT scan showed a large pericardial effusion requiring pericardiocentesis, small bilateral pleural effusions and small amount of

Community-acquired Streptococcus mitis meningitis: a case report [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2008 Streptococcus mitis is prevalent in the normal flora of the oropharynx, the female genital tract, gastrointestinal tract, and skin. Although it is usually considered to have low virulence and pathogenicity, Streptococcus mitis may cause life-threatening infections, particularly endocarditis. Meningitis with S.

THE OXIDATION OF BUTYRIC ACID BY STREPTOCOCCUS MITIS [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1952 Many cultures of the Streptococcus mitis group have been reported to oxidize butyric acid with the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in both growing cultures and resting cell suspensions (Niven, Evans, and White, 1945). An investigation of this reaction was undertaken in this laboratory with the ultimate aim of obtaining information concerning the ...

Streptococcus mitis Abscesses Mimicking Liver Metastases. [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 Streptococcus mitis (S. mitis) is a commensal bacterial species that commonly colonizes the oropharynx and gastrointestinal tract. It is seldom reported as a human pathogen. However, immunocompromised individuals may be at risk of infection. We describe a 62-year-old male with prostate cancer who presented with multiple S.

Streptococcus mitis Expressing Pneumococcal Serotype 1 Capsule [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractStreptococcus pneumoniae’spolysaccharide capsule is an important virulence factor; vaccine-induced immunity to specific capsular polysaccharide effectively prevents disease. Serotype 1S.pneumoniaeis rarely found in healthy persons, but is highly invasive and a common cause of meningitis outbreaks and invasive disease outside of the United ...
